I have a Traffic Pro in my civic. Looks totally like a stock radio, but it's a CD, AM, FM, GPS navigation unit. It's sweet. And the loosers have no clue what it is, so they pass and look for someone's alpine. Pic is from a BMW.

Wait a bit and you'll be able to get the new civic unit for the US. The UK one's will not work here if they are software locked.

Nooo... I meant that the US navi for the civic will become available. Honestly, it's got me thinking too. I am not planning on buying the new civic either, at least for a year. I want to read up on it's problems on the forums first.

The factory Navis are sweet. I fell in love with them when we got the 05 Accord with Navi. Man, that thing has every address I ever tried. You CAN'T get lost.

Yes, American-branded cars do suck... A LOT.
Example: a friend of mine bought a GMC Envoy on the last days of June. By her birthday (July 16th) the car WOULD NOT start... IN ANY WAY. Plus, to f*** it all up, the dealer wouldn't take it in with warranty.
What's wrong GM? Afraid?
Well, you should be!!

And, uh... Honda caring about protecting the local domestics market? If you work for an import brand (IB) and your competition is a domestic brand (DB), you wouldn't care less about if DB went out of the market. You would care very, very much to keep IB in the market...
You would try to sell the most you could in every country where you could get really good income out of your product.

Why do you think Chevrolet isn't selling the Matiz, the Lacetti 5 door or the Tacuma in the United States?
Why do you think Honda of America doesn't sell the Life, Airwave, HR-V, FR-V, That's, Stream, Elysion, Edix, Vamos, Hobio, Mobilio, or it's variant the Mobilio Spike, Stepwagon, the ugly Partner or the Acty and it's variants (including the lift-bed pickup variant) in the United States?
Why do you think Honda of Japan doesn't sell the Civic Coupe, Ridgeline, Pilot, Element?

Now... why do you think Honda of America is going to start selling the Fit/Jazz?
Why do you think Nissan of America is going to start selling the Cube?
Think about it...

They can bring in money. How?
By competing with Toyota, who's brought in the iSt and the bB (xA and xB, locally).

It's all about the money. it's all about power. It's all about monopoly.

And that, my friends, that's what makes buying cars so interesting!

Ah! I can breathe. Took it out of my system.

I'm assuming it would fit, since most everytihng honda makes is either 1 or 2 dins. You'd need a dash kit or the 05 faceplate if anything probably. I'm just wondering if it would have a spare av input on the back LOL

It should fit. It's just another Alpine made double din unit. BUT you'll need the GPS antenna, and have to hook into the vehicle speed sensor and reverse wire. Also need the software of course.

No clue on the AV input. Probably not, though.

looks to me like the US version will have a satellite linked nav system... i dont think they would give that whole preview on the US site if it wasnt going to be available in US.

i think the interior sucks though. the center console w/ the shifter is gaudy, and the gauge "cluster" is a little too crazy for me. i like the good old fashioned tach/speedo combo at least. should all be in one place, if they wanted to spice it up a bit they should have made it like the s2000, none of that 2-tier crap.

actually the 7th gen navi was also available in Japan. Its hdd based and its double din, the screen folds down to allow you access to the cd player i think. im not sure if acura had any hdd based navi systems, if they do you could try to import a honda oem navi from japan or europe and use the acura software. im not sure of this too, but i heard the sat nav system is different in general in europe so european sat navs might not work here in the US even if you ahve the software.

I have an aftermarket touch screen dvd/navi (Pioneer Avic-n1), Granted it doesnt have the OEM look. But the overall presence is great, expandability galore. Also since having it bypassed to watch DVD's while in park, if you get pulled over close the screen in a couple seconds and hide it like a cheap deck. not to mention when the car is off, it looks like a normal 90 dollar head unit, theives dont look twice.
